We have been developing websites for clients for a number of years. We often have to deal with support departments and over the years we have found that many of these (probably the majority) have a poor or not so great support service. Often we have been of the thought that "we got their money now - so they can wait for the support" kind of attitude. "Transparent Technologies" have surpassed our best hopes for support. Not only is Open Realty a truly established and excellent product but the level of support, the turn around time, the amount of patience and commitment to quality service Transparent Technologies have given us - is simply astonishing. If there is anyone out there who has not made their minds up about purchasing the professional services from TT then we urge you to go with them. What price do you pay for true peace of mind in today's market of IT?
Thank you once again Transparent Technologies for your ongoing commitment to customer satisfaction. Simple Superb.

TransparentRETS

This past year has brought us to an interesting point in time. Open Realty 2.5.6 is out with lots of new features, The VOW policy is adopted by MLS's across the country and RETS servers are provided by most MLS' per NAR mandates.
With so many new technologies and business rules available it was time to upgrade my site to all of the latest software. I especially wanted to upgrade from my custom coded IDX importer to a RETS feed. I tried some of the open source RETS clients that are available. Especially the ones that are supposed to work with Open Realty. I then contacted Transparent Technologies about Transparent RETS.
You all were very helpful and took the time to assess my MLS’s server, finding some RETS standards compliance issues. ( this was a great help in getting the corrections made) As you know, I eventually bought the product and was elated to find that it was extremely easy to install and set up. The user interface is much better than other RETS Clients I tried and within minutes was connected to the RETS server and pulling data.
The TRETS client queried the server and displayed all of the property fields available. I simply went down the list and checked the fields I wanted to import and hit "Auto Map". The system automatically created all of the fields in my OR database! Brilliant! Setting up the queries to only import the data I wanted was also extremely easy and intuitive.
Literally, in 10 minutes I was pulling data into my site. It automatically cleaned up the database by removing old properties and it works with OR’s new property notification system. Something I was missing from my custom coded solution. The best part is that it is so easy to use that I do not worry about the MLS making data changes in the future. This is going to make my site much easier to maintain. I also feel the site is on a much better platform on which to add future capabilities.
Considering the many hours I spent with other products to get any data imported, and all the tinkering required for making changes to the import, I feel the cost of Transparent RETS was a bargain. The fact that you were there to help with identifying issues on my MLS’s server was also a huge benefit and something I would never have been able to do on my own.
I am looking forward to completing the implementation of my new site using this product. It truly is a huge improvement to my site.
I would recommend this product to anyone who is setting up an OR site and has a RETS server available. It is the way to go.
Thanks so much for this product.

Found myself stuck when it came to my last host and upgrading to vs 3.x, you really did come to my rescue with the hosting and top notch support.
My client and myself are very satisfied and it's no doubt due to your continued support!

I already have this idea of doing a multiple Realtor web sites with the capability to pool MLS database. Then, I found Open-Realty and that is! By tweaking of php scripts. I had done it! Without great help from Transparent Technologies, I wouldn't be able to do up Multiple linked Property Portal Web Sites. The flexibility to be able to configure access to hosting MySql is very important, only Transparent Technologies provide this feature.

Open-Realty & IDXManager

Open Realty is a gift. We used it to develop a highly customized website with an automated IDX feed, and were impressed with the results. This software program is flexible and stable with an active community forum for peer support. It laid a solid foundation for our unique customization needs.
With our high-profile client, we also needed some other services tailored to our specific needs. In addition to purchasing the IDX Manager add-on from Transparent Technologies, we also signed up for their hosting and technical support packages. This was probably the best decision we made in our website development process. The team at Transparent Technologies was exceptionally helpful, responding to each of our development requests within a day -- even on weekends and holidays (do they ever rest?). They not only provided useful technical solutions to problems we didn't even expect them to solve, but they also came loaded with important knowledge about MLS listing rules. Their advice was invaluable, and we couldn't have done it without them.

In general, we are very impressed with your software and hope to use it for other clients in the future. If you run across people needing help with installation and theming, please feel free to give them our names.

We are excited (and relieved) to announce the immediate availability of Open-Realty® v3.3 which provides initial support for PHP v7.0. Existing customers can obtain the update via one-click upgrade if supported, or from your customer area here at Transparent Technologies. A few new features and improvements worth mentioning are: A brand new Page API and some new Media API method types, improved localization, a new customizable template for adding saved searches, a re-work and standardization of the Property Class and User Field Editors, and the ability to include the primary listing photo when sending listings to Twitter.

PHP server requirements have changed: Do not attempt to upgrade Open-Realty if you are currently using PHP 5.5 or earlier.

Transparent Technologies announces the immediate availability of v3.2 of the TransparentMAPS add-on for Open-Realty®. Existing customers can obtain the lartest version from their customer area. This latest release of our popular mapping and geocoding add-on software has been updated further for PHP v7.0 compatibility, includes new map types for Featured listings, as well as marker clustering and the ability to set custom icon sets individually for each map type.

Requires Open-Realty® v3.3+

PHP server requirements have changed: Do not attempt to upgrade TransparentMAPS if you are currently using PHP 5.5 or earlier.

Transparent Technologies announces the immediate availability of v2.2.2 of the TransparentRETS MLS listing import add-on for Open-Realty®. Existing customers can obtain the latest version from their customer area. This release of our RETS MLS import add-on software has been updated for PHP v7.0 compatibility, and adopts recent changes in OR v3.3

Requires Open-Realty® v3.3+

PHP server requirements have changed: Do not attempt to upgrade TransparentRETS if you are currently using PHP 5.5 or earlier.

TransparentMAPS v3.1.2 is now available for download from our Customer portal. This release adds a new map type and 2 new tags, addresses changes google has recently imposed on the Chrome browser and their Map API, and benefits from our first PHP v7 compatibility refactoring pass of the program code.

It is recommended that all users upgrade to this version to avoid downtime due to changes in google's APIs and the Chrome browser

Open-Realty v3.2.12 was released to address a potential, critical security vulnerability (CVE-2016-10033) that was very recently discovered in the 3rd party PHPMailer library. All previous versions of OR v3 are potentially affected, but only if you have your Mail System: setting in Site Config set to use "SMTP w/PHPMailer". Users that still use the default setting: "PHP Mail()" are unaffected.

To celebrate the holidays and the recent relase of Open-Realty v3.2.10 we are having a sale on Open-Realty Pro edition, all DIY add-on licenses, and all Real Estate Hosting package setup fees through the month of December.

We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of Open-Realty v3.2.10. This update includes a few bug fixes, as well as several significant improvements to the API, the Page and Blog editors, and further preparation for eventual jQuery v2 support. Before upgrading, you will want to ensure that your host is running PHP v5.4 - v5.6, older versions of PHP are no longer supported. Do not attempt to upgrade Open-Realty if you are currently using PHP 5.3 or earlier.

We have released TransparentMAPS v3.1.1 This release re-enables some previously disabled features, solves some small problems, and includes greatly revised documentation.

Bug Fixes

TMAPS-20 Fixed a bug where the correct autozoom settings were not always being applied.

TMAPS-23 Fixed an upgrade bug when upgrading from some previous 2.x versions of TMAPS it was not also updating the addon version# in the DB.This bug did not break anything, but made it difficult to identify the true verson of TMAPS that is installed.

Fixed some formatting problems with the map infowindow whenever additional fields were added to it.
